The Blarney Stone is in the village of Blarney set in

the wall of the Blarney Castle Tower. Kissing the

stone is supposed to bring the kisser the gift of

blarney. The origins of the Blarney Stone's magical

properties are not very clear, but there is one legend

that says, that a old woman cast a spell on the stone,

to reward a King who had saved her from drowning. So

by Kissing the stone while under the spell, gave the

king the ability to speak sweetly and very

convincingly. The origins of the Blarney Stone's

magical properties aren't clear, but one legend says

that an old woman cast a spell on the stone to reward

a king who had saved her from drowning. Kissing the

stone while under the spell gave the king the ability

to speak sweetly and convincingly. It's tough to

reach the stone -- it's between the main castle wall

and the parapet. Kissers have to lie on their back and

bend backward (and downward), holding iron bars for

support
